After beginning the setup process you will have the opportunity to name your Ring Doorbell 2 to distinguish it from the other Ring products in your account. Several default names are suggested or you can enter a custom name for your Video Doorbell.

In the next step, if this is your first time setting up a Ring product, you will get a request from your phone informing you that the Ring App wishes to use your phone’s location services to pinpoint your location. Allowing the app to do so will assist in inputting your address. Without a specific location, certain features of your Video Doorbell will not work properly.

The next step in the setup process will ask you to connect your Ring Doorbell 2 to your Wi-Fi network. Be sure you're near your router and have your Wi-Fi password ready. If you have more than one Wi-Fi network, select the one closest to where you will be installing your Ring Doorbell.

Note: Following this step, your Ring Doorbell 2 may update its internal software. While performing an update, the light will flash. Note that while the update is taking place, and the light is flashing, your Video Doorbell will not work. Wait until it completes and your light is glowing steadily before proceeding to the next step.
